Late policy: Homework assignments are due at midnight on the due date. A 20% penalty will be applied to homework submitted up to 24 hours late, a 40% penalty between 24 and 48 hours late, and zero points after more than 48 hours.

Collaboration policy: All work you submit for the homework assignments must be your own. You are welcome to discuss the assignment problems in general with others, but you must work out and write your own solutions: any in-person or online discussion should stop before you start discussing or designing a specific solution. Note this means means not only writing the final answer or program, but also key preliminary and intermediate steps such as solution design, debugging, etc. Copying others’ solutions or letting another person copy your solutions is a serious violation, and can result in failing the course and additional disciplinary action.

If you used external resources such as Wikipedia for help in any of your homework solutions, you must cite them explicitly in your report, and write the solution completely in your own words (not copied from the external resource) to demonstrate that you understand it yourself. The same applies for any programming component: the code should also be written from scratch.

If you have any questions about what is and is not allowable in this class, please contact the course instructor.
